While PSG conceded a historic defeat to Newcastle, Luis Enrique was surprised by a question from a journalist after the match.
PSG fell apart on Tuesday on the pitch at Saint-James’Park. Very ambitious in the game with a 4-2-4 resolutely forward, the capital club lost 4-1 to Newcastle, suffering the heaviest defeat in its history during the group stage. of the Champions League.
However, Luis Enrique did not seem to worry too much in front of the media, finding the result “unfair” even if the attitude was not necessarily ” very good “. “These are difficult matches for coaches. I think our attitude has not been very good. We were good under pressure from Newcastle. We have the first opportunity with Ousmane. But I honestly think the result is a little unfair, not totally unfair. The result is excessive”he told Canal+ before congratulating Newcastle.
The Parisian coach did not seem to regret the 4-2-4 aligned for the occasion with his offensive quartet Mbappé-Dembélé-Kolo-Muani-Ramos. “I thought it was the best and I still think so”, he blurted out, visibly annoyed. An annoyance that the former Barcelona player no longer took the trouble to mask at the microphone of RMC Sport. “I am the coach, I have to decide”he first said when the question of this famous 4-2-4 came up.
But relaunched by his interlocutor on the theme “Is it difficult to coach PSG? »Luis Enrique was scathing. “What kind of questions are these?” »he replied before ignoring the reminders from his opposite number, who was trying his luck again.
